Contents
Part 1, Fresedo's first Golden Age, has chapters whose titles are dated 1926 to 1932. Part 2, Smooth Classics, runs from 1933 to 1940–41. Part 3, Melody and Modernism, runs from 1942 to the stereo recordings of 1961 and ends with Fresedo in ten tangos and one tango-fox. The appendices are Fresedo on disc and the orchestra formations, followed by a bibliography, a glossary and an index of titles.

Structure
The book places Fresedo's early career last: Part 4, Fresedo before Fresedo, goes back to his first recordings in 1917 and runs to 1925. Like the Canaro volume, and unlike the first four volumes of the series, its contents list no discography appendix.
Fresedo in ten tangos, p. 188 · Appendices A–B, pp. 224–227
